Beyonce and Pepsi
There has been some controversy over Beyonce doing a commercial for Pepsi. I am struggling on this one. It’s a free country and people should be able to do a soft drink commercial. That being said, Beyonce was a big part of the First Lady’s campaign on health. Did she really need that $50 million promotional deal? She and her husband are raking it in. Was it worth that money to confuse kids on what they should drink? Believe it or not, if she came out and said that water is what you need to drink (and why) it really would influence a lot of her fans in a VERY POSITIVE WAY!
Any thoughts?
Pepsi needed a celebrity endorsement because Coke had already locked in the American Academy of Family Physicians by sponsoring their patient education website, FamilyDoctor.org.
Love it!
I questioned it as soon as I heard about the deal, but apparently Beyonce was promoting Pepsi before getting involved with Michelle Obama Let’s Move campaign (before the $50 million deal) – if that is true then I would ask why Michelle Obama would ask her to be involved.
I wish a graphic artist would take Beyonce’s face and paste it onto an obese body pushing a shopping cart full of empty cans of Pepsi to show what would happen to her appearance and health if she actually drank all that soda.
Rock stars, is there anything they don’t know?

Hehehe…. of course it’s a sham! The whole Michelle Obama initiative would never, will never accomplish squat – it’s merely a way for her to re-demonstrate to us all her overwhelming goodness. Sycophants like Beyonce’ want that reflected grandeur, and sign on for photo ops to help profit off the hype, while never endangering the real profits. Celebrities will seek the spotlight as mosquitoes will the porch light, and First Ladies should be seen and never heard.
